No More Blisters!: Clothing

After LOTS of searching, money spent, and more blisters than you can imagine, I've FINALLY** found the perfect running socks. To me! I'm a neutral runner - medium arch, no pronation etc, but after 3-4 miles I ALWAYS start getting hot spots, right on the ball of my foot, about 1 inch below my big toe. If I run a little longer 1/2 - 1 mile? BLISTER CITY. I have tried all lubes - Aquaphor, BodyGlide, Vaseline. Nothing helped. I got blisters from the lube, but at least my feet were soft. The sweat and lube from my feet seemed to form an odd paste (like Ross and the leather pants did with lotion and powder) and NOT washed in the wash. products, but not to prevent blistering), Monistat anti-chafing powder gel (a complete copy of the Smashbox makeup primer), but strengthening. Plus, all the powder pouring out of my shoes made me feel like Lindsay Lohan. It also made a paste :( I've even tried duct tape which just left my feet in that gray/black "tape". Never again. Words "DRY" somewhere on it. Blisters again. Thorlo Experias were with nice ones Cushions that were really soft and comfortable when I was NOT running. When I moved, this cushioning only seemed to accelerate the onset of hot spots and blisters. My running coach suggested the Swiftwick after whining at the sad state of my vine-like feet and groaning. My local running store didn't have my size so I ordered Revain and the socks arrived the next day (thanks Prime!) I put them on straight away (no lube, no powder) and ran 5 miles that evening with no problems with my feet. Since then I've bought 5 more pairs and threw away all my other socks - I've run out. I haven't had a single blister or hot spot even after 10 miles. ng around means no friction, which means no blisters. The fabric is comfortable and elastic, perfectly absorbs moisture. They will not stretch or shrink in the wash (wash inside out). The only downside is the price, but honestly it's on par with many other brands of running socks!
